Price and Time - Radiocarbon Dating

Standard AMS 14C dating service is for samples yielding at least 0.5 mg of carbon after chemical pretreatment (often acid-alkali-acid treatment of organic material). The precision of radiocarbon dates for recent samples (younger than 2000 years) is better than 0.4% which equals +/-35 years for the 1-σ statistical uncertainty of the measured age. The uncertainty changes according to the age of the sample and will be larger for older material. Consultation with the Leibniz-Laboratory about the samples prior to submission is advised.

Prices don’t include VAT (value-added tax). Customers from the EU excluding Germany should provide a VAT-number to avoid paying the 19% German tax.
